Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 850 is a processor built with laptops in mind

For 2018's flagship chipset, then, it's more of what makes Windows 10 on ARM so appealing: battery life and connectivity.

The first batch of always-connected PCs use the Snapdragon 835, which powered some of best smartphones of 2017, including the Samsung Galaxy S8, Note 8, Pixel 2 and OnePlus 5T. As the Snapdragon 850 is meant to be used in devices bigger than a smartphone, it can run at higher clock speeds without overheating.

In addition, there is increased support for artificial intelligence (AI) and multimedia applications.

The QualcommSnapdragon 850 chipset offers advanced connectivity features like 4G LTE and longer battery life.

A particular focus has been also placed on laptop form factors, with improved thermal and CPU management. The X20 LTE modem pushes the downlink speeds up to 1.2 Gbps.

This may encourage more vendors to explore the "Always Connected" mobile device business. "Gigabit LTE is extremely important from a network capacity and coverage point of view, and is also the foundation and building block as networks prepare for the move to 5G". The chipset also supports Microsoft's Machine Learning SDK. To our knowledge, Qualcomm is going to have Snapdragon 855 (maybe 860 or even 1000 brand for PC) powered with Snapdragon X50 5G machine in 2019 too.
